Jude Bellingham scored twice and Harry Kane added a penalty as England defeated co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash to book a quarter-final meeting with Norway.
Bellingham struck twice in just 98 seconds to put England in control before Julián Quiñones pulled one back. Despite playing over 40 minutes with 10 men following Jarell Quansah’s red card, England extended their lead through Kane’s spot-kick after Anthony Gordon was fouled. Raúl Jiménez converted a late penalty for Mexico, but England’s defence stood firm under relentless pressure.
The victory sends the Three Lions into their third consecutive World Cup quarter-final, keeping their hopes of lifting a second world title alive.
